Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:37 pm on 17 January 2017.
I certainly welcome the decision to cut the tolls, which I think will be a huge boost to motorists. Now, you have outlined your wish, Cabinet Secretary, to see the abolition of the tolls on the Severn bridge, and I agree with that ambition as well, even if there are serious financial questions that need to be addressed, and, indeed, traffic-flow issues as well, as Jenny Rathbone has outlined. Now, I come from a slightly different position from the last speaker, but I would ask you: how would you answer those who say that it is a contradiction for the Welsh Government to continue to allow the Cleddau bridge to be run for profit by its council whilst condemning the toll charges on the Severn bridge?
